Amazon MGM Studios is greenlighting the production of a Life is Strange TV show, bringing the decade-old coming-of-age game to new audiences. Published Square Enix is listed as a producer, alongside videogame adaptation specialist Story Kitchen, and Margot Robbie\u2019s production company, LuckyChap.<\/p>\n
Videogame adaptations have had a poor track record in the past, but thanks to the wild success of the Sonic and Mario movies at the box office, as well as shows like The Last of Us and Fallout, things are looking up. It\u2019s thanks to this that I\u2019m cautiously optimistic about the greenlit Life is Strange TV adaptation, despite it being a choice game with an extremely passionate fanbase. After the series\u2019 latest installment, we really need a win. If you don\u2019t know what I mean, take a look at my Life is Strange: Double Exposure Switch review.<\/p>\n
The slate of producers is working with TV writer Charlie Covell, who\u2019s best known for their adaptation of The End of the F***ing World, and their original show, Kaos, on Netflix. In Story Kitchen\u2019s announcement post, Covell says, \u201cI am a massive fan of the game, and […] I can\u2019t wait to share Max and Chloe\u2019s story with fellow players and new audiences alike.\u201d Despite Don\u2019t Nod\u2019s lack of involvement in the project at this early stage, executive producer Luc Baghadoust said that seeing the game become a show is an \u201cincredible honor\u201d on X.<\/p>\n
